LEbron melo cp3 wade come to ny! lol next off season

 

[floodarea]

 
Griffin is trash, only want him if LeBron is coming with him. He made a bunch of bad moves and LeBron covered them up.

 

[squatchnt]

No one wants him to leave, but if he can't win as a knick, i want him to go compete somewhere win atleast one ring

If he ain't winning one for N.Y. I don't want to say idgaf, but I don't

 

[zaraki319]

Sadly i don't see NY winning a ring in years if we don't get some LBJ caliber, crazy offseason trades. No one wants to come to NY

Melo won't win a ring anywhere I don't think. I feel he's also gone sooner than later. Just build around KP at this point and see what kind of team that gives us. I just want to see exciting basketball again. A man can dream!

Do buyouts still count against our cap? Idk how it works.

Knicks aren't winning **** for years, we're stuck in purgatory. Atleast we got to see incompetent, arrogant *** Phil booted.

I don't see Melo winning here either unfortunately because of where the organization is at the moment, not a knock on him. Now if he goes someplace else and wins I wouldn't be mad but my concern ends when he takes off the uni...

Only reason D. Griffin gave Thompson, Shumpert, JR those contracts is because they're in win now mode & there was no one better on the market at the time. The alternative was you let those guys walk, LeBron leaves, then you're back at the bottom of the league.

I'm willing to give someone that played a major part in building a championship team a chance. ****, I'll give anyone who has experience a chance.

With Melo and going after players like Jeff Teague, yes we're definitely stuck in purgatory. Gotta hit on the Frank pick, then the next 2 picks, and then maybe we'll have something.

What about rebuilding properly for the first time since all young players and assets were shipped off for Melo, leading to Donnie Walsh resigning?

Stop with the "win-now" impatience, it clearly just leads to sucking more for longer.

Warriors taking the chip for at least the next 3-4 years so we just need to be ripe by the time thats done with

Yea until this team decides who they are and go in a clear direction not much will change.

This makes the most sense but then there's Dolan, NTC, Noer, resigning Rose, going after Teague...

Willy should be our GM. He's currently recruiting Rubio while jumping off boats in Ibiza with Luka Doncic.

@Al_Iannazzone Knicks have decision to make on Ndour/Plumlee. Ndour's $1.3 mill becomes guaranteed if not waived by 5 pm. Plumlee gets $100k if not cut.

Both can go.

Nigel Hayes could do what they do

Both scrubs. Bye

So Kyrie might get traded to Utah? The fuuuu?

 

[d3si]

Kyrie coming home in the summer of 2019

Exactly the kind of thing that happens when you don't have someone like David Griffin calling the shots

 

[100027]

I think the rumor was that Dan Gilbert asked LeBron to guarantee he would stay and LeBron said no, so he didn't trade Kyrie 

 

[ballinsam23]

Frank not playing tomorrow

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Frank not playing tomorrow

If he's banged up why would you want him playing so early ?

 

[floodarea]

Frank not playing tomorrow

Dude just came off of a 7 game series overseas

I wouldn't want him paying anyway
